Q: How do I disable a rule
when reviewing a '.Designer.vb' file?
A: You can amend a rule
condition to quickly check if the current file being
reviewed has a file extension matching '.Designer.vb'
by testing the
Parser.Objects.File.HasDesignerExtension
property.
If Parser.Objects.File.HasDesignerExtension = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
Q: Does VS Law 2005 support
ASP.NET web site projects?
A: No. VS Law 2005
only supports traditional web application projects
upgraded from Visual Studio 2002/2003 or created via
the add-in released by Microsoft to restore functionality
removed from Visual Studio 2005 (but replaced
by popular demand!) and making a formal return in Orcas.
Q: Does VS Law 2005 work
with Visual Studio .NET 2002/2003?
A: No. VS Law 2005
supports Visual Studio .NET 2005 only. You must use
VS Law .NET with previous versions of Visual Studio .NET.
Q: Can I upgrade my VS
Law .NET 1.0 rulebase for use with VS Law 2005?
A: Yes. VS Law .NET 1.0 rulebase
files are forward compatible with VS Law 2005. Note:
The new features in VS Law 2005
mean VS Law 2005 is not backward
compatible with VS Law .NET 1.0.
Q: I am an existing VB
Law customer, can I get a discount if I upgrade to VS Law 2005?
A: Existing VB Law
customers are entitled to a 50% discount on the
published price on a license per license basis until 1st
January 2007. Please e-mail
sales@visibleprogress.com if you wish to discuss
upgrade costs.
Q: Can I upgrade my VB
Law rulebase for use with VS Law 2005?
A: No. VS Law 2005 uses VB.NET
as a scripting language and uses a parser object model to
represent source code entities. However, you can manually port
individual rule scripts once you become familiar with the VS Law 2005 parser
events and object model. Please e-mail
support@visibleprogress.com if you need help porting rules.
Q: Will there be a version of
VS Law .NET for C#, J# and C++?
A: Support for other languages
is not planned.
Q: What plans do you have
for Visual Studio Team System?
A: Support for VSTS integration
is not planned.
Q: What plans do you have
for Visual Studio 2008 ('Orcas')?
A: Due to a lack of sales of our .NET
products, support for Visual Studio 2008
and beyond is not planned.
